The results are 7 individuals with genotype EE, 106 with genotype ET, and 187 with genotype TT. What are the allele frequencies of E and T, and what are the expected numbers of the 3 genotypes if random mating is assumed?in a randomly mating laboratory population of Drosophila, 4% of the flies have black bodies, and 96% have brown bodies. Flies with brown bodies always have at least one parent with a brown body. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population? 0.04 0.16 0.08 0.32 The period gene of Drosophila melanogaster encodes for a stretch of Thr-Gly repeated in tandem. In natural populations, the three most common alleles encode for 17, 20 and 23 Thr-Gly repeats. The amplification by PCR of the allele encoding for 20 Thr-Gly repeats produces a fragment of 320 bp.

- Which of the following statements does NOT apply to the Hardy-Weinberg expression: p2 + 2pq + q2? Group of answer choices p2 is the frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype. 2pq is the frequency of individuals with the heterozygous genotype. It can be used to determine the genotype and allele frequencies of the previous and the next generations. Knowing either p2 or q2, you can calculate all the other frequenciesUse the following information to answer the next question.
